A youngster's drawing of Jeremy Corbyn has become an internet hit after the Labour leader posted it online in a bid to thank the boy.

The creation was handed over to the Labour team during Jeremy Corbyn's visit to Warwickshire yesterday during which he spoke in Nuneaton and then Rugby.

Depicting the leader of the opposition on a stage speaking, the pencil drawing was liked nearly 5,000 times within hours of it being posted on Instagram and had been shared hundreds of times on Facebook.

Sharing it, Jeremy Corbyn said: "A young boy drew this lovely picture for me today and I didn't get chance to say thank you properly.

"Hoping someone from Rugby Labour know him and can pass this on."

The Rugby Labour party also shared the picture in a bid to find the lad's parents.

They wrote: "This is beautiful - can the parents send us a message so we can say thank you.
